Micron Technology - Building 50

Contact: Mike Stock

Schedule: Project complete on time

Work Scope: Construction Manager / Mechanical Contractor

Project Highlights: STOCK CMS and YMC teamed up to work on this state of the art research and development semiconductor facility located in Boise, Idaho. YMC's contribution to the construction management team included six full-time on site personnel as well as project integration into our project management software. The self-performed scopes of work included the following systems: HVAC, Process Dry, Mechanical Wet, and Process Wet. Additional work was brought under YMC's scope as the project progressed to ensure timely completion, not limited to: structural steel, decking, grating, strut racks, construction elevators etc... The positive working relationship between STOCK and YMC was a key factor in the completion of this fast paced project.

Lake District Hospital Addition & Remodel

Owner: Lake District

Location: Lakeview, Oregon

Contact: John Young / (208) 275-8905

General Contractor: Anderson Construction

Work Scope: Mechanical Piping / Plumbing / Medical Gas Piping

Project Highlights: This project involved construction of a new wing on an existing hospital in a small remote community. The new central plant and building wing had to be brought on-line and made operational so the owner could move into it, allowing remodel of the existing facility to begin. This project has everything from a new central plant with boilers and chillers to a completely new medical gas bunker and distribution network.

Difficulty: Working in a remote project location in South Central Oregon.

Solution: YMC sent two of our most tenured superintendents to run this project because of the difficult logistics. We also worked closely with the local labor force and our trade support subcontractors, such as controls and insulation, to develop good relations in the region.

Holy Rosary Medical Center

Owner: Holy Rosary

Location: Ontario, Oregon

Contact: Vince Leedy / (541) 881-7260

General Contractor: Baugh/Skanska Construction

Work Scope: Mechanical Piping / HVAC / Plumbing / Medical Gas Piping

Project Highlights: (8) New custom air handlers served this new addition. Variable air volume (VAV) ducting was run throughout the building to terminal units for temperature control in each zone. Chilled water and heating water were derived through connection to the existing campus central plant via tie-ins in the existing building. This was done through an extensive combination of shutdowns and live tie-ins through use of hot tap devices. YMC also performed all the plumbing and medical gasses, which also tied to the existing campus.

Difficulty: New building mechanical, plumbing, and control systems integrated with the existing structure and building systems.

Solution: Work closely with the general contractor and owner to develop a stringent schedule for tie-ins, connections, and shutdowns.

St. Luke's Regional Medical Center - Boise & Meridian

Owner: St. Luke's

Location: Boise, Idaho

Contact: Mike Cotner / (208) 381-2023

General Contractor: St. Luke's Construction

Work Scope: HVAC

Project Highlights: YMC has worked both as a contractor on plan/spec jobs and in-house at the St. Luke's Boise and Meridian facilities for over 20 years. Some project highlights include construction and/or remodel of NICU, PICU, laundry, kitchen/cafeteria, ICU, operating rooms, admin areas, sleep study, etc. For the last 15 years, YMC has maintained a minimum crew of 5 men working at this St. Luke's facility.

Difficulty: Working in a congested downtown area, in occupied areas, on tight timelines.

Solution: YMC has become adept at working in an operational hospital. This can only be achieved through time and experience spent actually working in one.

St. Luke's Magic Valley Hospital

Owner: St. Luke's

Location: Twin Falls, Idaho

Contact: Tim Austin / (208) 381-2023

General Contractor: St. Luke's Construction

Work Scope: Mechanical Piping / Plumbing / Medical Gas Piping

Project Highlights: YMC is the piping and plumbing contractor in this new 180,000 square foot 5 story building in Twin Falls, Idaho. Chilled water piping is routed to air handlers at the penthouse level for building cooling and a hot water heating piping network routes through each floor for heating at VAV reheat coils. Medical gas piping including oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, and medical vacuum are routed to patient rooms throughout each level.

Difficulty: Coordination is always a key in new hospital construction as the amount of mechanical and electrical utilities required is extensive for the space provided.

Solution: As the piping contractor, YMC played a major role in coordinating the mechanical work scope with the other trades in this building through a CAD coordination process.

Health Care Eduction Building (Design Build)

Owner: Eastern Idaho Tech

Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho

Contact: Penny Dennis / (208) 362-2125

General Contractor: McAlvain Construction

Work Scope: Complete Mechanical

Project Highlights: YMC completed full design build of this 40,000 square foot medical training facility. The design was based around VAV air handling with fan powered VAV boxes and reheat coils. Heating was supplied through multiple boilers, and a variable water flow system.

Difficulty: Working with both Idaho State University and EITC to define the scope of this multi user building.

Solution: Work with the general contractor, lab consultants, and owners in multiple on-site meetings to coordinate the mechanical scope with the building program.

North Canyon Medical Center - Gooding

Owner: North Canyon Medical

Location: Gooding, Idaho

Layton Project Manager: Paul Adams

Work Scope: HVAC

Project Highlights: This 50,000 square foot facility serves the remote area of Gooding in south central Idaho. The scope is complicated by the fact that Twin Falls is the nearest major metropolitan area and is over 30 miles away.

Difficulty: Keeping clean construction practices in the middle of high mountain dessert area where the wind blows 20 MPH every day.

Solution: All materials delivered to the job in enclosed trucks, materials are being stored in connex boxes, and duct work installation practices are being monitored diligently.

LCSC Nursing/Health Sciences Building (Design Build)

Owner: Lewis & Clark State CollegeLocation: Lewiston, Idaho

General Contractor: McAlvain Construction

Work Scope: Complete Mechanical

Project Highlights:YMC completed full design build of this 60,000 square foot medical training facility. YMC used an innovative dual duct heating and cooling system to supply tempered fresh air to both classroom and laboratories. YMC used enthalpy heat wheels to maximize efficiency by capturing energy from the exhaust air stream.

Highlights: The Pilot Rock school district is comprised of an elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school. YMC was awarded the design and construction of this project in the spring of 2010. It involved the complete removal of old fuel fired boiler / radiator systems and the installation of a new state of the art VRV mechanical system. YMC was responsible for all aspects of the project including: Mechancial and electrical design, mechanical and electrical installation, integrated DDC controls, as well as architechtural and structural modifications required to support the project. Design started promptly after the project award in February of 2010 and early construction started over spring break with duct work in attic spaces. Upon school release for summer break YMC began the installation in earnest. The project was complete for beneficial use by the time school resumed in the fall.
